On a list of the most important appliances in the home, we would wager a fridge freezer would come out on top, perhaps in a first-place tie with a washing machine.
It’s one of those things the modern home simply cannot function without. When one breaks down or needs replacing, you need to make a decision - and fast.
A quick browse will show you hundreds of different models and brands, but it’s important to think about your individual set of requirements and future needs if you’re planning to buy one that’ll go the distance.
With the cost-of-living at the forefront of the national agenda, more households are putting their freezers to work, either by freezing fresh and pre-chopped ingredients to whip up a homemade meal later or by batch-cooking dishes for fuss-free meals in the future.
No matter how small or large your kitchen, out there is a fridge freezer for you. Some come with all the bells and water-tap whistles, while other smart options will beep when you’re out of essentials like milk.
And then there are the simple, trusty ice boxes that just keep things cool. There are various configurations with some placing the freezer above, French door, under-counter, centre opening and super-quiet machines to keep the constant hum to a minimum.
To save you the bothersome trawl over endless web pages, we’ve found the best deals of the month for you below.
